How To Cook Potatoes In The Instant Pot Recipes

HOW TO COOK POTATOES IN THE INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Prepare the potatoes for cooking: Chop the potatoes into 1 ½-inch pieces. Pour the water into the inner pot of the pressure cooker. Put the potatoes in the steamer basket, then lower it into the pot.
• Pressure cook the potatoes: Secure the lid on the pressure cooker and make sure it's set to its "sealing" position. Select the "Pressure Cook" or "Manual" setting, and set the cooking time to 3 minutes at high pressure. If your pot features an automated pressure release, set it for a quick release. (The pot will take about 10 minutes to come up to pressure.)
• "Quick release" the pressure: When the cooking program finishes, perform a quick pressure release by moving the pressure vent to its "venting" position or by pressing the pressure release button (depending on your Instant Pot model).
• Remove the potatoes and check for doneness: When the pressure has fully released, open the pot. Use a pair of heat-safe mitts to remove the steamer basket of potatoes. The potatoes are done when they are fork-tender. If not using the potatoes right away, let them cool completely and then, refrigerate in a covered container. Potatoes will keep for about 1 week.
